Their Business Booming

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Lippman Bros.
Drug Store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it ALWAYS
cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Groups and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured. You can
test II before buying by getting trial bottle
free, large size 81. Every bottle warranted.

The Columbus Street Railway Company

GUIDE g. Burchell, of this city, have re
ceived the contract to build the Columbia
(Ala) extension of the Central railroad,
previously reported.
The South Florida Railroad Company
and the jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
Railway Company, office Jacksonville
will build a union depot at Sanford.
The directors of the Central railroad have
officially determined to Fextend the Buena

c. R. Nagles has been appointed master
of trains on the East Tennessee road, with
headquarters at Atlanta. He succeeds j. J.
Kress, who has gone into the wholesale
fruit and commission business.
The first meeting of the stockholders of
the Columbus Southern railroad was held in
Columbus Friday. Directors were elected
and an organization perfected, and the indi-
cations are that work on the road will be
commenced at an early day.
The Georgia Pacific railroad made its an
nual returns to the Comptroller General
Friday. The road was returned at an
amount which averaged only about $4,000
per mile. Two or three years ago the road
was returned by arbitrator at about that
figure per mile Since then it has been
completed through to Columbus, and runs
solid trains from one end to the other
Being part of great system it does an
immense business, both in freight and pas
senger traffic. and Comptroller Wright feels
that it should pay the same valuation that
roads of like description make. This val
uation would increase the returns OF the
Georgia Pacific about $4,000 per mile. The
returns were sent back for correction. If
the road refuses to accept them, the matter
will have to be adjusted by arbitrator, the
road selecting one, the Comptroller the
other, and these two choosing a third

mer afternoon at the stone house. Once
more, too. Shirley sat beneath the willows
down hy the millrace. Those old trees
keep rising before us constantly.
But now it was two years later than
when the story began. 1t was the day
after Shirley had read her poem and ,
been crowned with the silver laurel wreath.
School had ended for the year.
The girl wore a white dress, and had a
bright red rose in her long, fair hair. The
hair wa no longer in braidS now. 1t was
wreathed around and around at the back
of her noble head. She was beautiful
enough for a young goddess, AS she threw
her head hack in an attitude full of spirit
and natural grace. Was she expecting
